In the event that Sewell is not on board at #5, I think the Bengals start entertaining offers to trade back, for the possibility of picking up another 2nd round pick, and reevaluate the board from whatever slot they move to.

I know this next part will piss some people off, but it's how I view the situation.  The Bengals taking a Pass Catcher at #5 would just be plain foolhardy.  They don't NEED a top pass catcher to improve the team from last year.  They do NEED to keep Joe Burrow safe and upright, as well as develop a dependable rushing attack to keep defenses honest.

Im not crazy on.the idea that the Bengals would kick Sewell
To a OG position in his rookie season.
Im gonna guess that he didnt play OG in his 20 game sample
Size at Oregon.
17 months out of football and now your asking him to move to OG. 
Last year they tried that with Fred Johnson. Total fail.
Yeah I know it was Jim Turner and his Sgt.Carter tatics.
But OT and OG are 2-different animals.
Footwork. Hand placement. The type of pass rush moves going up against.
Why not draft a OG in RD 2 like Trey Smith out of UT 
And let him compete for that spot?

I think drafting a Kyle Pitts makes more sense at 5 than Chase.
The draft.is deeper at WR than TEs
Part of keeping Burrow safe and upright is more than just 
Adding new pieces on.the oline

How about some balance in the run pass ratio?
How about Burrow getting the ball out faster of his hands
How Taylor doing a better job of scheming the targets
To get open faster?
